So. Jonesing to mod. looked at 4 motors. 3 where garbage, one ran well but had low compression (120 psi). Been doing little things to bide the time.

Mirror delete update. The covered the door behind the mirror with black duct tape. sealed the door and gave it a more finished look. (Tape is hardly noticable with the door closed)



In preperation for the kamback I'm preparing to install a back up camera, having no where but a big flat dash to put the Monitor and not wanting to have it sitting out in the open for every crack head to see I prototyped a cover, because of the form of the dash It was big enough that I threw the GPS in as well. Fits nearly perfect! So heres is Dash cover prototype 1.0 (CAD design)



Figuring it would be a while before I updated the prototype I covered the cardboard with duct tape to make it look a little more subtle from the outside.



At long last I get around to my headlight mod (Out of vanity, I know there is no measurable FE gain from the mod, but damn it looks cool!). $3.90 for the lexan, $7 for the tape... must.... resist... economics... rant.... So. its snowing here. wanted to give the tape time to.... dry or seal or cure or whatever tape does so I havent installed the buckets yet.
